Aruba CX6200M 24G/48G - 24/48 × 1GbE PoE+ Access Switches with 4 × 10GbE SFP+ Uplinks and Hot-Swappable PSUs

Aruba CX6200M 24G/48G access switches (R8Q67A and R8Q69A) deliver enterprise-grade performance and resilient power options for campus and branch networks. Designed for high-density edge connectivity, each model provides 24 or 48 Class 4 PoE+ Gigabit ports to power access points, IP cameras, and IoT devices, plus 4 × 1/10 GbE SFP+ uplinks for fast aggregation to the core.

Built on the AOS-CX operating system, the CX6200M supports advanced Layer 3 routing, real-time telemetry, and automated configuration for streamlined management. Modular, hot-swappable power supplies and field-replaceable fans ensure continuous operation and easy serviceability, while robust security features 802.1X, MACsec encryption, ACLs, and role-based access protect both data and management planes.

Compact 1U rack-mount design, quiet fan operation, and support for Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacking make the CX6200M an ideal solution for modern wired edge deployments requiring high availability, scalable power delivery, and simplified centralized control.

ADVANCED FEATURES – CX6200M 24G / 48G

Virtual Stacking with VSF:

 The CX6200M supports Virtual Switching Framework (VSF), allowing multiple switches to operate as a single logical device. This simplifies management, enables coordinated software upgrades, and provides seamless failover, ensuring uninterrupted network operation. VSF also allows scaling port capacity without increasing administrative overhead, ideal for growing campus and branch networks.

Dynamic Segmentation & Role-Based Access Control:

Integrated with Aruba ClearPass, the CX6200M enforces dynamic segmentation and role-based access, ensuring employees, guests, and IoT devices are securely separated. Policies can be consistently applied across wired and wireless domains, reducing lateral threats while maintaining network compliance and simplifying security management.

MACsec Encryption:

All ports on the CX6200M support MACsec AES-256 encryption, protecting sensitive traffic across access and uplink links. This provides secure, line-rate communication for enterprise, IoT, and wireless devices, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality across campus or branch deployments.

Automation & Programmability:

With Aruba AOS-CX, administrators can leverage REST APIs, Python scripts, and Ansible playbooks for configuration and management. Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) allows rapid deployment, while automated updates and monitoring reduce human error and operational workload, making the CX6200M suitable for modern agile IT environments.

Real-Time Telemetry & Analytics:

Advanced telemetry using sFlow and streaming telemetry provides granular visibility into traffic, port performance, and application usage. IT teams can proactively detect congestion, optimize bandwidth allocation, and plan capacity for latency-sensitive services like VoIP, video, and industrial IoT, maintaining consistent performance across networks.

Advanced Quality of Service (QoS):

Supports multiple queues per port, hierarchical traffic shaping, and prioritization of latency-sensitive traffic. QoS ensures reliable performance for critical applications while dynamically adapting to network load, optimizing bandwidth allocation without disrupting connected devices.

High Availability & Redundancy:

The CX6200M features hot-swappable, redundant power supplies and field-replaceable fans. Combined with VSF stacking and link aggregation, this ensures seamless failover, high uptime, and uninterrupted operation for mission-critical networks.

Energy Efficiency & Smart Power Management:

Supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and intelligent PoE/PoE+ allocation. Power is optimized for connected devices such as APs, IP cameras, and IoT endpoints, reducing operational costs and environmental impact while maintaining consistent performance.

Seamless Ecosystem Integration:

Integrates with Aruba’s broader ecosystem, including wireless access points, ClearPass, and Aruba Central. Centralized management, consistent policy enforcement, and unified visibility across wired and wireless networks simplify operations and enhance security.

Future-Ready Architecture:

Designed for modern mobile-first and IoT-enabled networks, the CX6200M combines high-speed uplinks, automation, energy efficiency, and robust security. Organizations can scale their networks as demands evolve, ensuring long-term investment protection and reliable performance for campus and branch edge deployments.
